MessageDialog window does not wait for user response

[JanRoza]

I must be doing something wrong but i can't put my finger on it.
I use a msgdialog using the following code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. if MessageDlg('Update Information', strMessage, mtConfirmation, [mbYes, mbNo], 0) = mrYes
2. then begin
3. .....
4. end;
5.  

When running my program I see the message window appearing and just as quickly disappearing again without waiting for a user to select a button.
Any suggestions what am I missing?

I'm using Lazarus 1.7 (rev 51630) and FPC 3.0.0 under Windows 10 (64-bit)

Nope, should work fine (does for me in trunk 52006).

Maybe you can try this in a small new project and see if it's your Lazarus installation.
If it works in a small example you know it's your bigger program and the problem is elsewhere in your code.

(Maybe there is a keypress still in the buffer when reaching this dialog)

B.T.W. from what date is rev 51630 ? I see it skipping from 51625 to 51631 on sunday februari 14. Maybe time to update the version

Thanks rvk.
My Lazarus installation was compiled on 27 April this year.
I'll try a small project tonight and see what happens.

Did a test with a small new project and it works there so I went back to the original project and tried to find why it wouldn't work there.
I ended up with rewriting that part of the program so that no MessageDialog is needed anymore.
Okay, should have dug until I found the error but this solution was more economic.
So problem solved.
